  1. A dead ball is when the play stops for one reason or another.
  2. A live ball becomes dead when:
    1. The ball touches an antenna or touches the net outside the part of the net directly above the sidelines.
    2. The ball does not cross the net completely WITHIN the antennas.
    3. The ball hits the floor, wall, curtain, or backboard.
    4. The ball hits the ceiling and lands on the defending team's side.
    5. A player commits a fault.
    6. A served ball contacts an object (wall, antenna).
    7. The first or second referee blows a whistle, for whatever reason.
